What it is
just saves the commands a project uses, such as building, testing or deploying, in a justfile, as named recipes. just test runs the test recipe; just on its own runs the first one, and just --list shows them all. It’s like make for running commands, without make’s quirks around files and tabs.
Why it’s here
- Commands you don’t have to remember. Each project documents its own tasks.
- Simple syntax. Recipes can take arguments and depend on each other.
